"Therapedia – our encyclopaedia of Nutritional Therapy Knowledge to share information and empower the reader to make positive changes for their health. We’ve treated many people with a variety of health conditions and have written our Therapedia Mini Guides to give some key facts and education about some of the conditions we see. The guides are intended to share useful research and education to help you to help yourself.

They are in no way designed to diagnose or be a ‘one size fits all’ approach as we believe in a personalised approach to health. The guides are intended as a useful platform of foundational knowledge about some of the most common considerations concerning specific conditions. As we are all beautifully unique, we would always recommend a Nutritional Therapy Consultation with one of our highly skilled Therapists for the optimum in fully qualified, personalised and individualised recommendations. In the meantime, we wish you good health and we hope you enjoy reading."
